Years: 458BCE - 458BCE
Aegina, which the Athenians had attacked and besieged in 459 BCE, is reduced in the following year and forced to pay tribute, though the Athenians may make some vague undertaking about autonomy.
The pretense that Athens is merely leading a voluntary association of willing Ionian cities in need of protection can hardly survive the reduction of Aegina, a great city of the Archaic age, whose proud Dorianism and traditions of seafaring and hospitality are stressed in lines of great beauty by Pindar in his Nemean Odes and elsewhere.
